Under this amendment he would have to explain why he is doing it. even though they have not complied with the Helsinki accords. But the JacksonVanik amendment is working. Emigration in the Soviet Union is increasing to cascading proportions. more than we ever dreamed a number of years ago. It is working and if we are going to amend JacksonVanik to say now not only emigration but everything else in the Helsinki accords is a topic for fair debate. a topic for a fair hearing and we ought to consider whether at this stage we want to do this or whether you want to pick out some of the Helsinki liberties. The JacksonVanik amendment is working. Emigration is increasing. increasing so rapidly. as a matter of fact. that we are contemplating waiving JacksonVanik. for a year in some countries because everything seems to be going in our direction. Mr. President. there is no question that over the years time is on the side of democracy.
